Sony Dismisses XEL-1 Criticism, Invests More on OLED Displays

In spite of the criticisms the 11-inch XEL-1 had to deal with in face of the DisplaySearch test results, it seems Sony's goal of bringing consumers OLED-based products hasn't faltered. In fact, according to DigiTimes, Sony is shelling out a whopping $210 million to invest on the development of medium to large OLED displays. I believe that to be able to conquer the OLED market at its infancy, companies really need to come up with something that could rival existing displays not only in quality and energy efficiency capability, but in size as well. Eleven-inches of OLED TV viewing will really not do it for some, so this is a great move by Sony. Further OLED developments in the Sony HQ will commence on the second half of 2008 with the aim to release a few products into the market by April 2009.
